Walpersberg, Mountain summit in Thuringia, Germany.
The Walpersberg rises 397 meters above sea level, featuring a network of underground tunnels stretching across multiple levels within its limestone structure.
During World War II, the mountain contained an underground aircraft factory called REIMAHG, which manufactured Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters from 1944 to 1945.
The mountain site includes a documentation center presenting exhibitions about forced labor history and military production through photographs, documents, and personal accounts.
Guided tours of the former military installations require advance registration and take approximately three hours to explore the accessible tunnel sections.
The mountain contains over 15 kilometers of tunnels, initially created for kaolin mining before their conversion into a military production facility.
